Brentwood Marriage License Facts
Brentwood Marriage License Office
A Brentwood Marriage License is issued by the Williamson County Clerk at 1320 West Main Street in Franklin. The city clerk page at City of Brentwood City Clerk says the city clerk does not issue marriage licenses and directs residents to the county office. That is the core city-level answer. If you are in Brentwood, you still go to Williamson County. You are just starting from a city page that points you to the right office.
The county license page adds the practical details that matter on the day of application. Both parties must be present. The office accepts cash only. Applicants must be 18 or older. The license is valid for 30 days anywhere in Tennessee, and there is no waiting period. The online application is available, but the county page also says the premarital counseling certificate must be notarized. That combination makes the Brentwood Marriage License process simple to plan if you know the office rules in advance.

Brentwood Marriage License Requirements
The Williamson County requirements are direct. Both parties must be present. The office asks for a driver's license, Social Security card, or passport. If you want the discounted fee, the premarital counseling certificate must be notarized and presented with the application. The county lists the fee as $40 with counseling and $100 without counseling certification. That is a clear local fee split, and it is the most useful number for most Brentwood users.
The statewide Tennessee rules still govern the legal framework. There is no waiting period for adults. No blood test is required. The license is valid for 30 days. Tennessee also does not issue a license to anyone under 17. If one applicant is 17, the state age restrictions still apply. Brentwood does not have a separate city rule set. It uses the Williamson County office and the Tennessee rules together.
Brentwood Marriage License Copies
If you need a copy of a Brentwood Marriage License, Williamson County is the first stop. The county archive page says marriage records run from 1800 to the present. That gives Brentwood a strong historical record base for a county that still handles current applications in the same local system. The county archive phone number is (615) 790-5462, and the county clerk phone number is (615) 790-5712. Those are the two numbers most likely to matter if you are verifying a copy or a historical record.
For a certified copy, the county research says in-person requests cost $5.00 and mail requests cost $5.00 plus return postage. That is a simple fee structure. It also means Brentwood users do not need to wonder which office is best. The county clerk office in Franklin is the office to contact, even though the city page is the Brentwood entry point.
